My Thoughts

3 for 3, but man is this a rough starting hand… None of the things I typically want to lead with. Going to go graveyard for lack of a better option, no idea if that’s foolish or not, but don’t feel like Vandy naked or Garth + skele is vastly superior. Imp + Tenderfoot + tech up next turn feels like it’ll be a reasonable choice

It goes against my habits, but I should probably be teching Brave Knights to balance out my mostly low-cost starter deck.

Thoughts

I’ll stop the Imp from attacking next turn, and if it’s replayed, that’ll cost another $3 and I can deal with the discard by just directing my gold into levelling Onimaru and/or building construction. I’m starting with Cadets instead of Knights in case I have enough breathing room to try for a Garrison rush… if not, I’ll still have time to grab Knights before reshuffing. Patrolling as Scavenger so I can afford to max Onimaru and build Tech II if I lose the Newsman.

My Thoughts

Going a little out of the ordinary here and going to worker the Dark Pact. I don’t need cards, I do need to deal with Maxband Oni though. Grabbing Discord and Starlet, hoping he goes for maxband + tech up, and then I can crush that.
…
Well, would have been better to draw Starlet as well… but at least I got discord. Hopefully I can crush it from here anyway…

I originally planned to block $2, with the main goal of preventing Discord. But then, when I was looking over my turn before submitting, I forgot about Discord and switched to $0 for Dark Pact / Deteriorate. D’oh. GG WP though, that one was exciting.

Seems like sometimes when I’m managing the little details of the spreadsheet, I forget some part of my plan for the turn, so I need to change my habits to record my plan for the turn and then review that plan before finishing a turn to make sure I didn’t forget something important.

Thoughts

Interfering with hasty Virtuosos is appealing, and maxing Oni is the only way to do it without sacrificing hand size. Better to postpone the Tech I a turn than skip a worker, as I have a decent chance of getting lucky and not drawing a Knight next turn. Also teching The Art of War so that if the shuffler favors me, I can suppress his Tech I for another 2 turns that way. I considered going after the Graveyard instead, but then I’d have to deal with hasty Virtuosos gunning for Oni, which would mean having to field cannon fodder that I’d rather not spend gold and cards on. Shuffler, be kind!

My Thoughts

Well he’s skipping tech 1, so I should be able to buy some time by just blocking up and making sure my tech 1 stays safe. No free levels for him, so next turn I drop the other Gargoyle and just try to keep the ground covered.

Thoughts

So, 50% kind… managed to avoid the Brave Knights and get an Art of War, downside is I drew the other Art of War and my Manufactured Truth too early to be useful this cycle. Still, could be worse. Defense against hasty units this turn isn’t an issue, but is it worth delaying his tech progress by another turn just to take out the graveyard? I’m not so sure it is. No risk of Skeletal Archery making tokens scary, so without teching up, the only real threat is spells. Would be nice to have Newsman in hand to block Doom Grasp, but c’est la vie. I think I’ll aim for Tech II Illusions, as Eyes would make Meta much less scary, and I think I can manage my hand size without Garrisons.
